- Public Gene Name
- acy-4
- Sequence Name
- T01C2.1
- WB ID
- WBGene00000071
- Description
- acy-4 encodes an adenylate cyclase most similar to vertebrate type V and type VI adenylate cyclases; by homology, ACY-4 is a predicted plasma membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP, a key second messenger in intracellular signaling; as loss of acy-4 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of ACY-4 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
